Agnes at the End of the World by Kelly McWilliams

This book is ODD, but also oddly relevant. It's about a girl who escapes an oppressive cult only to find that the world she doesn't know - the world beyond the cult - has essentially experienced the apocalypse due to a pandemic. Yikes, right? Hope there's no truth in this. She then journeys to save “the Outsiders” from said apocalypse. At times I was wondering what the hell I was reading, but not in a bad way, per se. More in a “this is very interesting and weird and fever-dream-like while also being scarily relevant which makes me very uncomfortable” kind of read.

Gave it a couple of chapters. I don't have the patience for it. The “humming” got on my nerves and I have, at this point, read too many books that take place in communities like this and too many books about the end of the world.

I finished Part One and... I just don't think I meshed with it. I'm not big on books heavy on religion, it seems. I supposed from here it could get better, but I read so many reviews saying Part One was the best part and if I'm already not liking it I just don't think anything is going to change :/
